A Startling Fact.

It is not commonly known that a large proportion of the rheumatism and neuralgia extant is traceable directly to the diseased condition or imperfect action of the kidneys and liver; therefore remedy which cures the resulting disease must have found and smitten the first cause. Many persons using Athlophoros for rheumatism and neuralgia have been surprised to find that chronic dis orders of the liver and kidneys have also been greatly relieved and they have written for an explanation. The fact is, that the remedy acts directly on these organs, cleans ing them from all irritating substances and regulating their action. Taken in connection with Athlophoros Pills this is, without ex- ception the most valuable kidney and liver remedy in the world, and will cure large proportion of those who have these diseases.
 It is owing to Athlophoros that am alive. have suffered with inf1ammatory rheuma- tism for years, most of the time being per- fectly helpless. But one bottle of Athlo- phoros has cured me. There IS nothing like it for the speedy relief and permanent cure of rheumatism, so l recommend it to all knowing it will accomplish what it claims to. MRS. E. RICKERS,

 Of Church Music and Hymns-Many
 Prominent Clergymen Present.
 Rev. Edwin P. Parker concluded his re- marks upon hymnology yesterday afternoon in the Marquand chapel. Many prominent clergymen were among the listeners. There were few distinguished specimens of hymns, said Dr. Parker, in the English language until the last century. The book of Psalms was the only book of songs in use in England and Scotland after the Reformation; lacking the spontaneity and impulse of Germalfy no fountain of sacred song could gush forth. John Calvin shared the feeling to exclude from public worship all the hymns of the historical church. The era of psalm singing began in France, promoting choral and con- gregational song. English hymnity arose with the rise of English independence. Watts stood upon the old ground of Ambrose and Luther and made a revolution, giving hymns that found their way into public fla vor He established the right of hymns to be in the public worship of the English churches. Doddridge and men of the Meth odist and Calvinistic schools, Wesley, Top lady, etc., increased the number of hymn writers and of excellent spiritual hymns. The early years of the present cen tury brought forth hymns in great abundance; of these that of President Dwight, 'I love thy kingdom, Lord, !" may be reckoned the best.
 
 contained in English psalmody and hymnity, expressing the inward life and development of the people of God.
 Metrical translations of the Psalms in rythmic prose are to be condemned. They violate the literary sanctity of the original and do not in any way improve upon the original. When Puritanism was child 1t understood and spoke as child; now that it has become a man let it put away It's preju- dioes and delight itself in the hymns of the holy Catholic church. Hymns of the church must have lyric force and feeling, be of quality in structure and thought Most hymns are sicklied over with anything but the pale cast of thought. We have peniten- tial hymns so extravagant that few can bear to sing them. We need more orthodox lines "than suit some sad, sickly saint" Of the didactic hymns the Athanasian creed is the most admirable and maddening specimen; it is pugistic. but certainly not platitudinari an. At this point the speaker left his sub ject, and in speaking of hymns brought up Joseph Cooke and in an incidental way the prudential committee of the American board and hammered one golden grain of wit into a sheet of infinite platitude'' in way that called forth applause as uncalled for as the remarks of the speaker. In concluding Dr. Parker said that good hymns should soar above all particularisms of denominational schools. We need Catholic hymns and Christian hymns and all not such should be ruled out. They should be musicical and full of religious inspiration. Next week Thursday, Feb. IT, Dr. Parker will speak upon "Church Music"

fled, but at about 6 O'Clock no returned TO

TWO OF duPOnt's HOrses FAN rnto

Two horses belonging to u. I. dnpon,
dc Nemonrs q 90. were instantlv killad
on Pennsylvania avenue betwa9n Rodney
and Clayton streets shortly befora I
o.oloek Monday evening by falling into 0
trench, one Of the private sewer com
panies, which have become numerous Of
late In the western part of the city, IL
constructing sewer which runs down
Pennsylvania avenue to VanBuren stree;
and then down the latter thoroughfare.
Inc square in which the &C. dent
occurred had been completely torn up on
one side to lay the drain. Half of the
work had been completed and filled up
again, but the other half of the trench
was still unfinished. Danger lights were
placed at each end of the SQUARE but NO
signal had been placed az the point where
the untitled trench began, and the spot
was only obstructed by small piece OF
scautling.
Mr.. Grow, the driver of the team, had
a Light dearborn wagon with which he
hau been delivering some light order and
was on his way bolAe. He drove along
the filled up part Of thestreet and directly
into the trench, which was about eight
feet deep. One horse fell ON top Of the
other headforemost, and both must have
broken their necks. The wagon also lay
halfway in the hole. How the driver
escaped is miracle, but he remained
unhurt.
The unguarded condition of this street
at this point has been the cause of two
accidents TO teams on previous occasions,
although the result was not so serious.
